The Indian government has set an ambitious target of achieving 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022. This includes 40 GW of rooftop solar, 60 GW of grid-scale solar, and 60 GW of wind. Currently, India is the third-largest solar market in the world and has the fourth-largest installed wind power capacity in the world. …
Bioenergy is a renewable source of energy that is produced from materials derived from biological sources. Materials that can store sunlight in the form of chemical energy like wood, wood waste, straw, crop residue, manure, sugarcane, and many other by-products from a variety of agricultural processes form biomass; the fuel used in the production of …
Solar Energy is one of the fastest-growing industries in India. As of 31st August 2019, solar installed capacity reached approximately 25 GW, making it the 3rd largest solar power market in the world after China and the USA. India also has the lowest capital cost per MW globally for the installation of solar power plants. …
Wind energy accounts for nearly 10% of India\’s total installed power generation capacity. Industries are currently spending a lot of money on electricity every month and can now reduce between 25% to 45% (percentage varies depending on state and consumption) on monthly electricity expenditure by shifting to wind power. WHAT IS THE AREA REQUIRED FOR …
Concentrated solar power (CSP), is a solar-powered system in which high-temperature fluids are used with steam turbines to produce electricity. Early small-scale applications of CSP mainly involved its use for the pumping of water, however, since the mid-1980s several large-scale power systems with a power output of up to 80 MW have been built. CSP …
India is one of the largest producers of agricultural crops (both food grains and non-food grains), but ranks very low in terms of agricultural productivity (the ratio of agricultural outputs to agricultural inputs). This is mainly due to the power supply situation in the agricultural sector that remains dismal as many farmers have to rely …
Statistics show that the scarcity of water affects over 40% of the world’s population and this value is only going to rise as the temperature rises. Currently, more than 1.7 billion people live in river basins, where water consumption exceeds water recharge. For this consumption to be sustainable, we have to seriously think about the …

Renewable energy sources are energy sources that can be constantly replenished through various natural processes. Unlike non-renewable fossil fuels, they form cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternatives. In the past, renewables were not so widely used as the technology was quite basic and prices to set them up were quite high. However, this has changed …
The Global EV Outlook is a yearly publication that discusses current developments in electric vehicle mobility around the world and is developed with the help of members from the Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI). This edition of the report features the analysis of the performance of electric cars and competing powertrain options in terms of GHG …
Solar power is one of the fastest growing sources of electricity in India and the world. Much of this growth in solar is driven by two factors, a fall in module prices making solar cheaper than almost every other generation method, and an increase in financing options available for consumers looking to install solar. However, …
